Organizing Scenario:

A home owner, Bjorn Bjornson, approaches your company,We Can Build Anything, LLCregarding a construction project. The Mr. Bjornson tells the company owner, Dan DeMan, that the tornado that came through the area last week destroyed the patio on the back of the homeowner's house. The homeowner has planned a huge soiree for next weekend at his home. It's a work-related cook-out (so it's super important to the homeowner) that the homeowner has planned with lots of people coming, so the homeowner needs to get his wooden patio deck re-built as soon as possible, or at least in time for the soiree. As it is a Monday now, originally the party was planned to occur in two Saturdays. Mr. Bjornson's work and work friends say that it's okay to not have the party in two weeks to take plenty of time needed to get the patio rebuilt. So, the goal now is to build a patio deckand spa on the deck at Bjornson's house by the 2020 Thanksgiving weekend. Considering today's date,Mr. Deman tells your boss, Sheila Kardashian, that he's accepted the job to rebuild the homeowner's deck and place the spa on the deck in time for the 2020 Thanksgiving weekend. Sheila tells your crew that they will do the patio re-build job and according to thePatio Deck Re-Build Project schedule listed below.
